dante or sanguinor

I have a 2k all jump list and currently use the sanguinor with good success but was curious to see who has tried both in similar lists and what the outcome was. Did you miss the sanguinors bonus attacks or not. Did dantes -1 do more than sang's +1. And similar comparisons. Not to mention the points differential. Discuss please. Thanks all

My vote would be for Dante... he is a better value and just as fun to field (imo). I only use either at 1850+ though. Fielding Dante also gives me an excuse to use the Sanguinary Guard (as troops!) which I also love.

 

What allows you to take SG as troops.. am I missing something in the codex? Never mind I found something called master of hosts, awesome I guess I've always over looked that.

I also prefer Dante. The Sanguinor is cute, but he's also a single model unit and it doesn't take long for most folks to realize what that means. Dante causes damage to the enemy before the game even begins and with his Surgical Strike and Tactical Precision (Am I the only one who thinks they got the descriptions mixed up on those) rules you can attack exactly who you want and if you get caught by the wrong enemy you just leave.

 

In my opinion he's at his best in a full size RAS/VAS with a Sanguinary Priest. While the Chapter Banner's +1A is tempting, the Sanguinary Guard is too small to let you effectively live thru multiple combats. Now if you attached Astorath and a couple of jump packed Sanguinary Priests with power CCWs to the unit that'd be a horse of an entirely different color. ;)
